The Player's Passion reinterprets theories of acting in light of
the history of science, examining acting styles from the
seventeenth to the twentieth century and measuring them against
prevailing conceptions of the human body. The author explores how
dominant theories of emotion, from the Galenic humor to the
Pavlovian reflex, have shaped the critic's changing standards of
the natural order of life and the actor's physical embodiment of
it. The Player's Passion has become a classic among theater
historians and students of acting, and received the prestigious
Barnard Hewitt Award for outstanding research in theater history. A
wider audience will appreciate the book for its consideration of
how far an idea can spread from its original discipline into the
broader currents of intellectual history and popular comprehension.
